Elizabeth Hurley shares her experience shooting intimate scenes in Strictly Confidential, directed by son Damian Hurley

As previously mentioned, Elizabeth Hurley described the experience of having her son Damian Hurley direct her in Strictly Confidential as "liberating." In an interview with Access Hollywood, Elizabeth said that working with her son gave her a sense of security and care, particularly in situations that challenged her comfort zone.

She said,

"It’s relaxing knowing someone’s behind the camera who looks out for you – which was the same on this movie in a way, because the things that his script needed me to do in this weren’t necessarily always done in movies many times before – but having him there meant I felt safe and looked after."

The controversy surrounding their partnership was acknowledged by Damian Hurley in the same interview. However, he stressed that it is an inherent aspect of their shared business.

He said,

“We felt in our comfort zone, it’s very strange. I think, also, when you’re on an independent film, you have 18 days to shoot, every single second counts. You can’t sit around mulling scenes, thinking ‘What if?’”
